Starting in 2010, Texas Tech’s College of Education implemented a new teacher preparation model to attend to the needs of its district partners. This new model was not funded by external grants, which meant that the leadership team had to be very intentional about scale and sustainability. Texas Tech and K-12 districts worked together to clearly outline expectations for their partnership, including how they would hold themselves accountable to sharing data and producing effective graduates. In order to implement the new vision, the College of Education was restructured to prioritize high-quality clinical experiences.
